The restaurant is open 7 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Chef Louie Finnan dresses in colorful pants and gives breakfast and lunch a New Orleans Cajun and Creole flavor.

Biscuits and gravy have a twist, served as biscuits and debris with roast beef shavings and gravy. The names of the eggs Benedict dishes are as creative as the dishes -- French Market Benedict, Bay Benedict, Voodoo Benedict and Bayou Benedict. From the sea come Eggs Nouvelle Orleans, made with crab cakes topped with poached eggs and Hollandaise, and Eggs Buras with Louie's famed flash-fried oysters.
